"Is it… because of that brat, Shesi?" Anri remembered seeing his daughter and Shesi together at Debikirin, and they even danced together!
Flashback to Anri on a mission at Debikirin. He glanced at Shesi over there, then at his mission over here. Daughter, mission, daughter, mission—his daughter even glared at him for Shesi! (Though he didn't know the demon in front of her was her father, which was forgivable. After all, how could his daughter glare at him?)
Suddenly, Anri thought of something.
"They… haven't hugged yet, have they? Or even… kissed?"
Anri grew more and more uneasy, eventually following his daughter to Babyls.
Seeing that no one seemed to notice him, Anri nodded. These special recognition-blocking glasses… sunglasses were very useful. He'd have to order more pairs.
"This isn't about stalking my daughter; that's a perverted thing to do. This is about… Shesi… right! It's just an investigation into Shesi. After all, his background and everything are very suspicious. Yes, yes." (Both Azazel and his daughter are very talented at convincing themselves.)
"Hmm, although it's for investigating Shesi, since I've seen my daughter, I'll just watch her for now."
Student Council work, running, paperwork, patrols, discussions with Teachers (Kalego saw Anri and then walked away with a look of disgust. Seriously, how old is he, still so clingy with his daughter?).
Watching his daughter perfectly complete all her tasks, Anri couldn't help but exclaim,
"My daughter… is too perfect! Look at her excellent work ability and reputation. My daughter is indeed Babyls's Student Council President. She's outstanding. At this rate, as soon as she graduates, she can take over my position…" Thinking this, Anri was about to take a step forward when he suddenly saw Ameri turn a corner and bump into Shesi.
"!!! Level One Alert!" Anri put his cracked but not completely shattered glasses into his pocket and pulled out a new pair, putting them on.
"There he is, the source of all evil, one of the Evil Brothers."
Shesi: Huh? Evil Brothers? Who? Me? My brother? Slander, this is utter slander!
"The rude fellow who deceived Ameri, he actually ambushed her around the corner, pretending it was a coincidence? If you two dare to hold hands, I'll chop off your hands!" Anri gritted his teeth, watching the two of them.
"Hmph… still trying to hook up with my precious daughter. How could he be worthy…"
Shesi = Three Greats' grandson + Second-year, Rank Five (a young talent) + Next Demon King candidate + Seems to have good relationships with many high-ranking demons + Current relationship with the Head of Lust also seems good. He also seems to have a very good relationship with the former Thirteen Crowns, Andro M. Jazz. A few days ago, he apparently saved Shura Hime, becoming a bridge for communication between the Demon Clan and the Demon God Clan… "Damn it… is Ameri overreaching?" Anri clutched his head in distress.
Why did all these absurd things happen to him, and he perfectly resolved them all?
"No… I can't agree… After all, he… is a human."
"Absolutely not…" Anri made up his mind to sabotage their relationship when he suddenly heard his daughter's laughter.
"Heh heh, really?"
Hearing his daughter's playful laughter, Anri paused. His memory seemed to rewind to a long time ago, and her figure appeared in his mind.
Anri looked at his daughter… he hadn't seen his daughter smile so happily in a long time. Anri took off his glasses and walked forward.
"Ameri."
Ameri's body trembled at the sound, and she turned to see her father.
"Eh? Father, why are you here?"
...Inside the room, Anri looked at Ameri and Shesi, who were sitting opposite him.
"Um… Father, is there something you came for today?" Ameri asked nervously.
"Ameri, I want to ask him some things today."
Shesi's pressure instantly increased. Shesi swallowed, then looked at Anri.
"How do you feel about Ameri?"
Shesi paused at the question. Ah, the classic 'meeting the parents' question.
Shesi looked at Ameri seriously.
"I really like Miss Ameri."
Shesi's direct hit made Anri stiffen, his fists tightening slightly.
"No matter what kind of Miss Ameri she is, I like her very much. Whether it's the majestic Miss Ameri, or the adorable Miss Ameri who studies hard because of things she likes, whenever I see Miss Ameri smile, I also want to smile. Although I'm not sure about those things… when Ameri smiles because of me, I feel a great sense of pride."
Shesi's words made both father and daughter lower their heads. Ameri was shy, while Anri was… in a flower field in a mountain pass.
"Hey, hey, being so boisterous will make you fall, Melise."
"Henri~" A girl's voice came, and the demon in front of him seemed to smile, his lips curving upwards.
"Pfft," the girl also seemed to laugh.
"Why are you laughing?"
"Because I saw Henri smile, and I unintentionally started smiling too."
"So you're influenced by me?"
"No, it's not like that. I, you see, am very happy because you smiled."
"Why?"
"Haha, that's a secret."
"Tell me now."
"I, you see, feel very luxurious right now."
Anri's face also turned red, as if he remembered someone.
Just as Shesi was still anxiously waiting for the 'verdict'—
"Shesi-kun."
"Yes!"
"Thank you for telling me. I apologize for coming to you so suddenly. I'll be taking my leave now."
With that, Anri walked out of the room.
Shesi breathed a sigh of relief.
"It seems… I passed."
Shesi turned to look at Ameri.
"Eh? Ameri, why aren't you looking at me? Don't turn your head away?"
At the same time, Anri had just walked out the door when Astaroth Smoke, who had rushed over to report, called out to him.
"President? Eh? My mistake, sorry, sorry."
"Ameri is talking with Shesi in the discussion room," Anri said.
"Ah, so she's with Shesi-kun. No wonder she was late for the meeting. I won't disturb them for now. No, I need to put up a sign, otherwise, they'll go and fight the President for him."
Astaroth Smoke's words caught Anri's attention.
"They?"
"Oh? You don't know? Shesi-kun is very popular, you know. Many people are pursuing him. He's quite a celebrity at our school."
"A celebrity?"
"Because everyone calls Shesi the Harem King…" Astaroth Smoke suddenly realized his mistake and corrected himself.
"But in my opinion, it's just because Shesi-kun is very outstanding, so…"
However, he didn't finish his explanation before Anri grabbed his shoulder.
